TROUBLESHOOTING

 

 
 
Keep all manufacturers’ manuals handy and refer to them as needed. 
 

 

If machine shuts down and will not start: 

 

 

Press the STOP button and then press the START button. 

 

If this does not work, go to the circuit breaker panel, and flip the circuit breaker to the 
electronic controller “off.”  Wait 5 minutes then turn the circuit breaker back 
"on".  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS WHILE YOU ARE WET!  Now press the 
START button. 

 
NOTE:  The AC Tech electronic controller will shut down the machine if unusual 

electrical or mechanical problems arise.  The controller has a built-in G.F.I. 
(ground fault interrupter) circuit built into it for equipment protection.  This 
monitors the current going to the paddlewheel motor.  If there is an imbalance  

 

 

in the amps going to the paddlewheel motor, which can occur for a number  

 

 

of reasons, this G.F.I. electronic breaker will shut off, thus, shutting down the  

 

 

machine.  The controller must be reset by depressing the STOP button; it will  

 

     then be ready for a start command. If the machine shuts off again, there is a  

      

             

problem, and it must be handled by a licensed electrician. You may also call the        

               SwimEx Customer Service Department. 
 

If too many air bubbles are coming out of the water return eyeball:  (The water 
line from filter to swim area.)  Note:  A small amount of air bubbles is normal if you are 
using an Ozonator. 

 
           

Check to see that the air trapped inside the filter is released by "bleeding" the    

 

 

filter (refer to manufacturer's manual). 

 
           

Check for any obstructions in the skimmer basket or hair catcher. 

 

Check for any leaks in the water lines. 

 

If filtration system problems (heater, pump and filter) arise:   

 

 

Refer to Manufacturer's Owner's Manual or call SwimEx. 

 

If paddlewheel is making strange noises:
